"All things are born, but the only knows and keeps its roots." The "2022 Spring Festival Gala" of the Central Radio and Television Corporation takes the excellent traditional Chinese culture as the background, finds a place in the vast land, looks at the symbiosis in poetry and painting, and casts the soul in one move and one style. The evening party used modern light and shadow to gently caress the cultural vein of five thousand years, breathing in and out, all green mountains, all rivers.
▍On the vast land, see the beauty of history
"The road of history is not a sidewalk on Nevsky Prospekt, it is entirely in the fields, sometimes through dust, sometimes through mud, sometimes across swamps, sometimes through jungle." In the vast expanse of land, history has left us with an endless legacy.
The background of history is a shocking glimpse of "sleeping for three thousand years, waking up and shocking the world".
2021 can be called the shining year of Sanxingdui, and the newly unearthed cultural relics full of fantasy temperament have aroused the attention of the global archaeological community. Let the heritage displayed on the vast land come alive, as the representative of the "Shangxin" in 2021, the Sanxingdui bronze mask has been initially repaired and active diseases removed, and it will be unveiled at the Spring Festival Gala. Following the "Silk Road Landscape Map" in 2018 and the "National Treasure Homecoming" in 2021, the Spring Festival Gala of the General Station once again ushered in the national treasure, bronze solemnity, witnessing the centenary of Chinese archaeology.
The background of history is that no matter how strange the imagination, there is a rustic origin.
The cultural relics that have just appeared on the stage are painted in a flash, and the creative dance "Golden Face", which expresses the historical theme of Sanxingdui civilization, made a stunning appearance. The program combines cutting-edge visual effects with Classical Chinese duo dance with a dramatic performance technique, telling the story of a contemporary girl who travels through thousands of years and meets the golden-faced youth of the ancient Shu Kingdom. The scene of the program restores the scene of life in the ancient Shu land, and young men and women step into it to talk to each other. Even across thousands of years, Chinese people's yearning for a better life, their dedication to beauty, and their pursuit of love have not changed in the slightest.
The beauty of Chinese history is fully displayed on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and our civilization is so brilliant! Let the cultural relics speak, tell people the historical wisdom, and present the answer to the era of "why China" at the Spring Festival Gala of the General Station.
▍In poetry, read the beauty of mountains and rivers
"The knower enjoys the water, the benevolent leshan." The most intense place in the Chinese is between the mountains and the waters. On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, there are two programs born out of China's famous paintings, there are beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there are the smoke and rain of Jiangnan, and the poetry of painting is full of quiet and moving.
The background color of mountains and rivers is the still water depth of classical aesthetics and the poetic rendering of modern light and shadow.
In 2021, the dance poetry drama "Only This Green", which tells the creation process of the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", has become an "annual hit" that is difficult to find, and the classic excerpt "Into the Painting" was broadcast in the "National Treasures Exhibition season". On Chinese New Year's Eve night this year, the highly anticipated "Only This Green" women's group dance passage took to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The 14 dancers showed a series of Zen and imaginative scenes and movements such as waiting, looking at the moon, contemplating, walking alone, dangerous peaks, and lying stones.
The philosophical traditional Chinese aesthetic connotations and modern dance vocabulary and light and shadow rendering together build a "Only This Green" exclusive to the Spring Festival Gala. On the stage, the water surface is vast and the mountains are gradually dyed green, setting off the beauty of the still water flowing deep in the dance itself. In this stage with the largest audience in the world, it not only brings difficult dances and visual enjoyment beyond the senses, but also the harmony between man and nature and the resonance of Chinese cultural self-confidence.
"This painting is painted with the people of heaven and earth, and those who come and go, but it is enough to see the green!"
The background color of mountains and rivers is a creative restoration of ink paintings, which is connected to the same root and the same source and mountains and rivers.
"Heavy like a painting, curved like a screen." In the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", the hundred views of Jiangnan are beautiful. The creative music and dance poetry painting "Remembering Jiangnan" meticulously reduces a long scroll of ink into a figurative stage scene: a literati, a fisherman, a woodcutter, or a chant in the landscape of Fuchun, or singing and answering in a pen and ink scroll.
In 2011, under the joint promotion of people of insight on both sides of the strait, the "Fuchun Mountain Jutu", which has been separated for hundreds of years, "Leftover Mountain Map" and "Useless Teacher Volume", were exhibited in Taipei, becoming a good story in the history of Chinese art. In "Remembering Jiangnan", the upper and lower volumes are once again merged into one in a new artistic scene, interpreting the cross-strait cultural inheritance and cultural integration with artistic expression. After zero o'clock, the surprises continue, a good "cultural opening year"!
The beauty of mountains and rivers, the beauty of the natural high mountains and waters, and the human civilization bred between the mountains and rivers, are as bright as the stars. The mountains and rivers on the Spring Festival Gala stage are long and refreshing, and between exhalations and inhalations, all are green mountains and rivers.
▍Inherit the beauty of culture in one move and one style
"Rigidity and softness are intertwined, astronomy is also; civilization ends, humanities also." Wherever there are people, there is culture, the inheritance of culture, and people are the most basic units.
The cultural background is that the clouds and the flowing water stand in the steel jungle, and all things coexist harmoniously.
Chinese culture regards "stopping the war as a weapon" as the most precious, and regards "poor soldiers and martial arts" as a precept. The original intention of Chinese martial arts is to eliminate war and maintain peace. The landscape Tai Chi "Moving Clouds and Flowing Water" is staged in the city's high-rise buildings, and the sense of harmonious symbiosis of all things comes to the face. In the program, three martial arts champions performed "high-altitude tai chi" in 4 high-rise buildings in Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangzhou. Overlooking the city from the apex surrounded by clouds and mist, the buildings are like steel bamboo forests, and 3 martial arts masters have moved at the top of the "Bamboo Sea". With the texture of a film lens, the program shows the encounter, display, collision and symbiosis of traditional and modern elements.
Traditional martial arts stand in the steel jungle of modern cities, just as traditional Chinese culture has bred the civilization of modern cities. High-rise buildings are like steel backbones, still towering after the vicissitudes. Following a stroke of breathing, you can feel the harmonious unity of traditional culture and modern civilization, urban construction and natural environment, architectural art and martial arts.
The cultural background is passed down from generation to generation, and innovation is endless.
In the 40 years of the Spring Festival Gala, the opera program has never been absent. In "Endless Pear Garden Love", the old, middle, young and young perform on the same stage, jointly showing the far-reaching pulse and long rhyme of the play. Yang Shaochun, a martial arts actor who is still active on the stage in his old age, made a shaky appearance as soon as he opened the scene. Chen Shaoyun, a 74-year-old famous Peking opera artist, sang and composed equally, performing the Qipai classic play "Xu Ce Running City", singing and dancing all the way, "hurrying forward", which won thunderous applause. He has been acting in this play for more than 60 years.
The beauty of culture lies in the brilliance of life that has bloomed after thousands of years of inheritance and innovation. The excellent traditional Chinese culture of flickering and moving, singing and playing, and endless life is the source of literary and artistic innovation at the Spring Festival Gala.
